They would not hear of any alteration,--he then told them, "the doors should always for the future be opened at five, unless the public applyed to have it altered." All then was quiet and the play began. $Mr Weston=, whose name was in the Bills for <i>Jerry</i>, was taken suddenly ill, and $Mr W. Palmer= went on for it without an apology.--called out, "$Mr Holland=, what is the reason we have not $Mr Weston= according to your publication in the Bills?" They then were told he was taken suddenly ill--"then pray make an apology for him" they said.--Another gentleman called out "Don't answer him, Mr Holland, you do him too much honor by deigning to answer him."--then all was quiet, and the play went on.
